New 60cm Scape

Out of interest, can the silver trims on the corners of the tank be removed or would it compromise the integrity of the tank?
 
Thats an interesting question. I'd think on the curved panel it shouldn't be an issue.
 
A couple more pics, still not much better than the phone camera. More practice required.

Re: New 60cm Scape [Upgrade ?]

I've got a 60cm T5 fixture currently residing in the garage, details http://bio-pur.de/bright.htm , currently with 4x24w T5 10000K tubes in. Never used. I was considering putting this onto my ~80L 60cm scape.

However, having seen Ian's recent LED posting http://ukaps.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=20422&start=120 , I'm now wondering if I should sell the T5 unit, and invest in LED technology. The other option open to me is to go down the DIY LED route.

Anyone got any thoughts, or suggestions ?
 
hey mate, i didn't take the decision 'lightly' to shell out for a LED system. Just remember that if you get Led's you cannot change the K rating, as you can with the bulbs. I just saw that you have 10000k bulbs, that must look a little marine like. I love my new unit and can say that i won't be going back to tubes...also be aware of the cheaper units from china aren't very good.

your tanks looking nice and healthy too.
 
Thanks.

I'm not using the 10K Kelvin fitting. I think if I did I would be swapping the tubes out.
I would give some serious consideration to DIY LED.

Do you have details of the LED fittings you have, including the bracket ?
